***Official 2013 Champions, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Thread***

Really depends on a number of factors. If it's really early on in the game like the first couple innings, a lot of managers are less likely to go to the bullpen early on. And if the 5 runs happened really quickly, a reliever may not have had enough time to warm up. So if it's like the 1st or 2nd inning, a manager probably doesn't get a guy throwing in the bullpen until it's 4-0 or 5-0. So there are probably a lot of managers who wouldn't have taken the starter out at that point. Now if it's later in the game, like 5th inning or later, and middle relief guys are prepared to get the call to warm up, a manager probably starts them throwing when it gets to 3-0, and so by the time it's 5-0, most managers probably do take the starter out.

Depends on a bunch of factors. Inning, how many outs, if there's a reliever ready to throw, how depleted the bullpen is from the previous few games where there might be a situation a manager asks the starter to take one for the team and eat some innings.

Moreno makes it official.

Owner: Mike Scioscia's job safe
The Los Angeles Angels have the second-worst record in the American League, but owner Arte Moreno told FOXSports.com that manager Mike Scioscia's job remains safe.

"Mike has zero problems, OK?" Moreno told the website Wednesday at this week's owners meetings in New York. "This is his 14th year. Mike goes beyond what he does on the field. He's a good person. He's a good person in the community. A very good baseball guy. You don't have to ask me. You just ask other managers, other baseball people.

"Look at 14 years' worth of productivity. Look at his record. He has two World Series rings with the Dodgers. He has one with the Angels. We've been to the playoffs."

The Angels are 15-24 entering Wednesday night's play, surpassing only the Houston Astros (11-30) in the AL. Despite the Angels' disappointing performance, Moreno said the chances of a managerial change during the season are "right now, zero."

Moreno also denied rumors the Angels are reluctant to let go of Scioscia out of concern the two-time AL Manager of the Year could end up with the Los Angeles Dodgers, if Don Mattingly is fired.

"I've heard it," Moreno said. "Whatever. You know what? To me, if you're going to let someone go, you're letting someone go because you don't believe their performance is what your expectations are. If everybody on the team was hitting .300, and the pitchers were undefeated, and all our relievers had done a good job and we'd made no errors, we wouldn't be in this conversation.

"Right now, in Mike's job, I have no questions about Mike."

That whole "Champions" thing was a bit premature.
